About Dr. Jerath

Hi everyone - thanks for visiting my blog!

I am an ob/gyn physician who specializes in obstetrics, gynecology, infertility, urogynecology, and wellness. I practice at Optima Women's Healthcare, a spa-like comfortable, relaxing setting for women in Parker, CO.

I focus on overall women's healthcare and provide personalized and individualized care for each patient. I use healthcare social media to educate, engage, and empower women, patients, and the community about their healthcare.

I'll be discussing women's healthcare, medical insights, female empowerment, community information, and life experiences on this blog. I hope to provide good information related to my practice, women's health, medical updates, healthcare reform, and patient resources.

" I enjoy ob/gyn and women's healthcare because it allows me the opportunity to use my expertise to help women throughout the various stages of life from puberty, to childbearing, and through menopause. I think each woman is a unique individual and I pride myself on having a strong rapport and connection with each of my patients. I maintain the philosophy to care for you with individualized attention, compassion, understanding, and diligence."
